Blue uniform, metal = einfacher & mittlerer Dienst, embroidered = gehobener & höherer Dienst on the visor hat. But that's what I remember from my childhood. My books are not very helpful...
The father of my best friend in primary school was a Hauptkomissar (Revierleiter) and at this time they hat to wear the uniform at the way to/from service. So I know he had an embroidered one.
Our neighbour was at the same time Polizeiobermeister at the Verkehrspolizei, if I remember correctly he had the same metal police star at his visor hat like at your Bergmütze.
I start with the bronze one matching the green/brown/yellow uniform by Oestergaard (1976) in 1980
The same star for all branches, ranks and for visor hat and baret. Just the two older types of the olive drab Feldmütze for the Einsatzanzug (BDU) had small embroidered stars.
PS.: The Wasserschutzpolizei had a star with oakleafes around and also embroidered IIRC.
